Hello everyone.
First no, its not my HD and lucky me.
Still - my parents' HD had died recently and i was curious perharps someone knows this particular "symptom" - the HD suddenly stopped whirling inside. Thats what i know - we didnt open the thing, we just listened - it doesnt spin.

The problem is, the HD contained a lot of unbacked information and i reckon we can give it to get the info. BUT - the HD is only half year old, meaning we have a warranty. Its 40gb disk, and we arent in good economical position right now to give the HD to data retrieval AND buy a new one. Any suggestions? Anyone?
